On March 16, the joint examination of the provincial examination in 25 places (provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, including the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps) has just ended, and then on March 30, the recruitment of public institutions in many places will also be carried out.
According to the statistics of Zhonggong Education, more than 155,000 people were recruited for the provincial joint examination, an increase of 3,206 people or 2.1% over last year. Among them, Guangdong, Hubei and Hunan ranked among the top three, with more than 10,000 recruits.
As a fresh graduate, Yu Peng found that the number of recruits in Chongqing's provincial examination has also increased. "I took the national examination before, and the ratio was 88:1, and I was four points behind and did not pass the line. It was very busy before the provincial examination, because it was close to the pre-defense of the graduation thesis, the blind review of the thesis, and the spring recruitment interview were all concentrated in March. ”
At the end of March, Chongqing's public institution recruitment examination will also be conducted, and Yu Peng also plans to participate. However, the recruitment situation of public institutions is similar to that of the provincial examination, and the competitive pressure is not low.
"After the provincial examination and public institution examination, some graduates can continue to devote themselves to the preparation of the public service examination if they still plan to work in the system. You can pay attention to and participate in the recruitment of special post teachers, 'three branches and one support', and the western volunteer program in the future, so as to increase your chances of passing the exam. Liu Youzhen, chief researcher of Huatu Education, told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter.
At present, Yu Peng is preparing with two hands: while looking for a job, he is also trying to take the public examination. "There are only a few people who can get in, and most people still have to find jobs in the ordinary job market. ”
The Ministry of Education recently issued a notice that from March to April, the 2024 college graduates will carry out the spring employment promotion action with the theme of "Supply and Demand Adaptation, Strong Service, and Spring Tackling and Promoting Employment". According to the latest data from the Ministry of Education, since the beginning of the spring semester, colleges and universities around the country have held a total of 8,403 recruitment activities, with more than 161,000 participating companies, more than 1.854 million job information, and more than 1.524 million college students participating.

The competitive pressure of provincial examinations and public institutions is not low
The provincial examination has just ended, and judging from the current data, the pressure of competition is not low.
Liu Youzhen pointed out that in terms of the number of applicants, the number of applicants in Henan exceeded 660,000, an increase of 15% over the same period in 2023, the number of applicants in Shaanxi was nearly 320,000, an increase of more than 80,000 over last year, and more than 215,000 candidates in Hunan Province registered and paid, an increase of 38,000 over last year, setting a new high in the number of applicants.
"In terms of reference rate, it is more impressive than in previous years. Specifically, a total of 551379 candidates in Henan Province have registered and confirmed to participate in the written test, an increase of nearly 80,000 compared with last year, a total of 143,700 candidates in the Gansu examination area have taken the examination, with a reference rate of 89.44 percent, and 188,100 candidates in the Hunan examination area, with a reference rate of about 87.4 percent. Liu Youzhen said.
A relevant person from Zhonggong Education told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter that the overall recruitment scale of the national joint examination for the provincial examination in 2024 has increased slightly, and the competition pattern is still fierce, especially in the provinces with a large number of applicants. Compared to 2023, although the overall number of recruits has increased, the competitive pressure faced by candidates has not lessened. At the same time, the adjustment of the recruitment policy, especially the support for fresh graduates and special groups, as well as the inclination of grassroots positions, are the significant features of this year's provincial examination.
In the face of greater competitive pressure, the 21st Century Business Herald reporter interviewed a number of students who participated in the provincial examination, and many of them said that they were more prepared.
Wang Jia is like this, she began to prepare for the national and provincial examinations in September 2022, so she has a lot of experience in the exam: in the 2023 national examination, Wang Jia finally entered the interview with a difference of 2.8 points, and has successively participated in some public institution examinations, such as more than 400 people from Yunnan Provincial Department and public institutions participated in the examination, and she ranked 14th, in addition to the fourth place in the county and city business editors, one short of the interview. Wang Jia also participated in the provincial examination in other places, and more than 170 people applied for the exam, ranking second, but still gave up.
"I'm going to spend one and a half to two years to get in. Wang Jia said, "If you really can't pass the exam, you don't plan to continue to waste time, you will still look at other job opportunities." ”
Compared with Wang Jia, Xu Rui also thought that he was well prepared, but the final results of the national examination were not satisfactory and he failed to enter the interview process, so he chose a position that matched his professional background in the provincial examination, hoping to be successfully admitted.
Xu Rui also has plans to participate in the subsequent public institution examination. In his view, the biggest difference between staffed jobs and civil servants compared with other jobs is that they are stable and secure, and they also have stable promotion channels and career development space.
However, even the competition in the examination of public institutions is not low.
Liu Youzhen pointed out that according to their statistics, the joint examination of public institutions in the first half of 2024 will be officially held on March 30, and 18 provinces will participate in the joint examination, including: Heilongjiang, Yunnan, Shanghai, Hainan, Guizhou, Liaoning, Guangxi, Chongqing, Jiangxi, Tianjin, Shanxi, Hubei, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Shaanxi, Anhui, Hunan, In addition, two prefecture-level cities in Changchun, Jilin and Mianyang, Sichuan will also take the exam on the same day, and these provinces and cities will recruit a total of 110061 people. Among them, Yunnan Province ranked first in the number of recruits, with a total of 15,611 recruits.
"From the perspective of the number of applicants, Shaanxi recruited a total of 9,983 people, but the number of applicants reached 295571, and the competition ratio was about 29:1. The number of applicants in the Yunnan examination area exceeded 400,000, and the competition ratio was nearly 25:1. The number of applicants in Guangxi is about 200,000, and the competition ratio is 15:1. Judging from the overall recruitment data and registration data, the number of applicants this year has increased significantly compared with previous years, and the competition ratio is more intense. Liu Youzhen said.
A person related to public education pointed out that similar to the provincial examination, the examination of public institutions may also be affected by the increase in the number of candidates and the little change in positions, resulting in intensified competition. The recruitment and competition pattern of the 2024 public institution examination may generally show a moderate increase in the scale of recruitment, the competition is still fierce, the preference for fresh graduates and grassroots positions, and the emphasis on professional skills.
Carry out the "Spring Employment Promotion Campaign"
In fact, whether it is the national examination, the provincial examination, or the examination of public institutions, it is a "good job" in the hearts of fresh graduates.
"At present, more than 50% of the students are preparing for the national examination, the provincial examination, and the public institution examinations, and the data of previous students, 20% will go to state-owned enterprises, and 16% of them will go to public institutions and national examination institutions, and then nearly 30% of the students will choose the position of teacher, and only 16% of the students will choose private enterprises. A teacher from the employment department of a university in Chongqing told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter.
Yu Peng said that there are many factors that affect the success of these positions, such as learning efficiency, learning methods, physical state, the surrounding environment and even luck, etc., and you must maintain your own rhythm on the way to prepare for the exam.
Although I hope to be admitted to the civil service or career editor, the 21st Century Business Herald reporter found in an interview that many college graduates are constantly adjusting their employment expectations, and many people are ready for both, or choose "slow employment".
According to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics database, in February 2024, the unemployment rate of the labor force aged 16-24 excluding school students in urban areas across the country was 15.3%, which is a certain increase from 14.6% in January 2024.
According to the news on March 20, in order to seize the critical period of employment promotion after the start of the spring semester and make every effort to promote the high-quality and full employment of college graduates, the Ministry of Education will carry out the spring employment promotion action for college graduates in 2024. During this period, the recruitment activity of "10,000 enterprises entering the campus" will be held, and the special action of "visiting enterprises and expanding posts" will be carried out.
According to the requirements of the Ministry of Education, colleges and universities in all localities should give full play to the role of campus recruitment as the main channel, do everything possible to gather market-oriented and socialized job resources, and provide no less than 5 job information for each graduate who is willing to find a job during the spring campaign. In addition, colleges and universities in all localities should strengthen the education and guidance of graduates' employment concepts, and guide college graduates to establish correct employment values.
Liu Youzhen pointed out that statistics from the Ministry of Education show that the number of college graduates is expected to reach 11.79 million in 2024, an increase of 210,000 from last year. In this context, graduates also need to maintain an objective and rational attitude to face the current job market, recognize the employment situation, and understand the needs and trends of the job market. Graduates need to formulate reasonable career plans and goals, and clarify their career direction and development path. In the process of job hunting, constantly improve their comprehensive quality and ability, and enhance their competitiveness.
"I think that fresh graduates should do a good job in psychological construction, that is, they should first find employment and then choose a career, and do a good job in career planning earlier, and have a pre-emptive thinking, so that they can be targeted and optimize their resumes according to the requirements of the target position. The above-mentioned teacher from the employment department of a university in Chongqing said.
Yu Peng is also ready to go to the company, but hopes to find a job that can provide learning and growth opportunities, has development potential and relatively good salary, and also tends to feel the embodiment of his own ability and value in the work, so he is also ready for slow employment.
"I may consider slow employment, but I will inevitably worry about whether the company will be disqualified from the interview because I have not been employed continuously. Yu Peng said, "I don't think we can look too hard for a job now, so let's guarantee employment first." ”
